 Happy New Year!  Wow!  2011 in Going to be an Amazing Year at SKK


KENPO 101 –

Contouring Principle - This concept involves using the outline of your or your opponent's body as a homing device or guide to accomplish certain feats. The concept is divided into two basic categories--methods that employ (1) body contact or (2) non-body contact. There are many sub-divisions to this concept.

Dead/Live - A grab is a Dead attack, a push is Semi-Live, a punch is Live.


SKK Monthly Update –


Okay! Let's get ready for the New Year. Tyler, James, Matthew, Gianah, Joshua, Nick, Davis, Jessica, Naomi, Yevgeny and Katelyn I hope you guys are ready for more fun and plenty of learning.

 Thanksgiving is Over!
Now on to Christmas!
Time Flies when you are having fun!
KENPO 101 –
Borrowed Force - An opponent's force which is used to defeat him. This can be accomplished by going with the opponent's force or, upon occasion, going against his force. The concept allows your opponent's force to enhance the effectiveness of your action.
Borrowed Reach - You can have Borrowed Reach without Borrowed Force, but not the other way around. Use Borrowed Reach to get Borrowed Force. A kick to the groin, gives you Borrowed Reach (bends attacker over and gets them closer to us) but we don't get Borrowed Force until you follow the kick with a strike.
